RoboTask forum

Is it possible to get the contents of a variable from the robotask.app object in BASIC.  You can create them using AddUserVariable and delete them with DelUserVariable but I cannot see a way of reading them.  Thanks.

Yes of course. It is RoboTaskApp.ExpandText() method.

In order to expand variable only as a string:
RoboTaskApp.ExpandText("{MyVar}")

Or whole expression:
RoboTaskApp.ExpandText("Value of my variable is {MyVar}")

Hi Oleg.  I am having a problem accessing the variable in my script.  As an example I have created a variable in my task called VAR_TEMP.
I have written a script to show the value of the variable in a messagebox ...
Sub Main
  Dim strTemp As String
  Dim oApp As New RoboTask.App
  oApp=strTemp=RoboTask.ExpandText("{VAR_TEMP}")
  MsgBox(strTemp)
End Sub
The code does not work and throws an error.  Should I somehow be referencing the active Robotask app in my code?  I.e. is there some way of assigning the current robotask instance to my variable oApp?
Thanks.
 

See my text more carefully. I use RoboTaskApp object instead of RoboTask.App
RoboTaskApp is predefined object and you don't need to create anything

See correct text:

Sub Main
   Dim strTemp As String

   strTemp = RoboTaskApp.ExpandText("{VAR_TEMP}")
   MsgBox(strTemp)
End Sub


BTW: if you want to create new RoboTaskApp object you have to do the following:

Sub Main
   Dim strTemp As String
   Dim obj As Object

   Set obj = New RoboTask.App
   strTemp = obj.ExpandText("{VAR_TEMP}")
   MsgBox(strTemp)
End Sub
